V-Ray for Unreal is a plug-in for Unreal Engine (UE) Editor that allows you to import your V-Ray scenes from 3ds Max, Maya, and SketchUp directly to Unreal Engine Editor for rendering. V-Ray for Unreal maintains data consistency and your original materials from V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp remain connected to their real-time versions and are called up when you’re ready to render. V-Ray for Unreal can also be used for light baking and for rendering of native UE scenes or of 3rd party data that has been imported to Unreal Engine Editor with Epic’s own Datasmith.

USE THE WORKFLOW YOU ALREADY KNOW

To bring a V-Ray scene into Unreal is simple.

Create the scene the same way you normally do using V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp. Then, export a V-Ray scene from your host application and import it using V-Ray for Unreal.

That’s it, you’re in — without needing to be a game engine expert.

SMART TRANSLATION OF MATERIALS AND LIGHTS

When you import your scene, V-Ray for Unreal automatically converts your materials and lights into real-time equivalents for UE workflows.

At the same time, your original materials from V-Ray for 3ds Max, Maya and SketchUp remain connected to their real-time versions and are called up when you're ready to render.

TRUE PHOTOREALISTIC RENDERING DIRECTLY FROM uNREAL

When you render with V-Ray for Unreal, you get the exact same photorealistic quality that V-Ray is known for.

V-Ray taps into the full combined power of your GPUs and CPUs for ultrafast ray tracing.

YOUR GATEWAY TO VIRTUAL REALITY

Once your V-Ray scene is imported, you'll be ready to take full advantage of the VR capabilities in the Unreal Editor.

V-Ray for Unreal makes it fast and easy to create high quality, immersive VR.

GREAT LOOKING REAL-TIME, GREAT LOOKING RENDERS

Now you can build great looking real-time experiences and ray traced renders all from a single, shared workflow using V-Ray for Unreal.

Please make sure that your system fulfills these requirements before installing V-Ray. Note that V-Ray is only supported for 64-bit operating systems.
